THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP INCLUDE: Opportunity to Actively Participate in Improving Your Workplace, Your Wages & Your Benefits Membership gives you the right to help shape our workplace conditions through the contract we negotiate with the University. Only members can prioritize issues which need to be addressed by our negotiators, who have the support and resources of the MEA to back them up. Because ACSUM members wanted a dental plan, ACSUM negotiated one! Your Paycheck At the negotiating table, ACSUM is defending our wages and benefits from take-back efforts while seeking to improve what we take home in our paychecks. Liability Insurance $1,000,000 MEA liability insurance is FREE with membership & offers protection against the possibility of being sued by an angry student or parent. Your Retirement Until our last contract, the clerical, office, laboratory and technical (COLT) staff employed by the University did not have a fair retirement plan that was equitable with the plan of other employees at the University. ACSUM must continue to work to protect our retirement plan. Membership sends a clear message to our employer! Communications Members receive e-mail which keeps us abreast of ACSUM current events. Members receive the ACSUM ACCENT quarterly newsletter. MEA & NEA publications, newsletters & reports keep us informed of events at the state & national levels. MEA Service When an ACSUM member is in trouble, the MEA is there to represent that member in court or before an arbitrator. When ACSUM has a bargaining crisis, the MEA is there to offer its expertise in finding a successful resolution. MEA Special Services MEA special services include
discounts on movie tickets, hotels, car & home insurance. The money
saved from using a few of these services can more than offset the cost of
our dues. ACSUM-MEA membership doesn't cost, it pays! ACSUM works hard to improve the work conditions, wages, and benefits for all COLT employees. Please show your support for that hard work.
